   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul   
[PUBLISHED] [Per Curiam - Before Bye, Smith and Benton, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Sentencing. On remand from the Supreme Court for reconsideration in light of Johnson v. United States, 135 S. Ct. 2551 (2015). For the court's earlier opinion in the case, see United States v. Brown, 734 F.3d 824 (8th Cir. 2013). Under Johnson, defendant's conviction for possession of a short-barreled shotgun is not a violent felony for purposes of sentencing under the Armed Career Criminal Act; without this conviction, defendant only had two qualifying convictions, and it was error to sentence him under the Act; remanded for resentencing. 131590P.pdf 10/30/2013 United States v. Wendell Brown U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 13-1590 U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Bye and Smith, Circuit Judges] Criminal case - Criminal law. Possession of a short-barreled shotgun present a serious potential risk of physical injury to others and is similar, in kind as well as degree of risk posed, to the offenses listed in 18 U.S.C. Sec. 924(e)(2)(B), and the district properly ruled defendant's prior conviction for possession of such a weapon is an ACCA-qualifying felony; constitutional challenge to the residual clause of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 924(e)(2)(B) rejected.
